Research Services

The Atlanta Center for Medical Research conducts medical research from phase
0/1 first-in-human trials through phase 4 trials of both medical and
behavioral treatments. ACMR provides full service medical research, from
top-ranked participant recruitment through ultra-secure biorepository storage
and medical record keeping, and everything in between. Sponsors can contract
these services as a complete research package or choose from an array of
services. Third-party research organizations and independent investigators
can also choose from a wide range of available services offered at ACMR’s
state-of-the-art open-source facility.

Study Design

ACMR has designed and conducted medical research studies for more than three
decades. ACMR’s investigators and staff are the very best in the industry.
Bring ACMR’s team in early to help design or refine your study. The longevity
of ACMR’s experience has made the institution very good at spotting potential
pitfalls and oversights in a study’s design before it begins. ACMR will help
you get the study design right from the start to save time and money.

Participant Recruitment

ACMR’s participant recruitment program is one of the most successful in the
nation. ACMR’s in-house recruiters and marketing team will fulfill your
study’s participant needs using:

An enormous research participant database

An extensive physician referral network

Print, radio, and television advertising

Community education seminars

Participant Retention

ACMR has consistently high participant retention rates. This is largely the
result of the organization’s experienced staff’s dedication with providing
the highest quality participant safety in comfortable surroundings. ACMR also
keeps participant retention high with:

A 24-hour participant call center, staffed by a nurse or doctor who can
answer participant questions.

A transportation department, which ensures participants make it to their
scheduled appointments on-time.

Laboratory

Pharmacy

A massive, onsite, 4,000-square-foot research pharmacy department includes a
compounding area with a sterile environment and laminar flow, and an ISO-9000
certified clean room. ACMR’s research pharmacist compounds right across the
hall from the infusion room, keeping to a bare minimum the time and travel
between compounding and infusion.

Radiology

Biomedical Equipment Rental and Service

Anyone conducting a study in ACMR’s facility can rent biomedical equipment
that is maintained by ACMR’s certified biomedical technicians. Investigators
and sponsors bringing in their own equipment have access to ACMR’s biomedical
tech services to sterilize, repair, and maintain their equipment.

Medical Device Testing

Because ACMR built its facility in a former hospital, there are fully
authentic, completely functional operating rooms ready for the testing of
medical devices. ACMR’s certified biomedical technician is available to
maintain and repair all equipment.

Biorepository

ACMR knows how costly the loss or corruption of even a single sample can be.
A massive biorepository is designed with multiple redundancies and security
controls throughout. Like the rest of the facility, the biorepository has two
redundant power supplies with two backup generators that can keep all
temperature and other controls running for weeks without outside power.

Medical Record Systems

All of ACMR’s medical record keeping is carefully planned to adhere to FDA,
GCP, ICH, and HIPAA requirements for privacy and to additional human subject
protections. ACMR takes participant privacy very seriously. Layers of
security are built into both digital and paper record systems to protect
participants’ privacy and sponsors’ intellectual property.

ACMR’s paper medical record storage is protected by a pre-action dry pipe
fire suppression system, which reduces the chance of fire or water damage
dramatically more than gas systems. ACMR’s digital records infrastructure is
protected by redundant server racks, locked down and hardened for security,
with both onsite and offsite backups.

Training

If you are staffing your own research team at ACMR’s facility, you can train
them in ACMR’s training rooms, or let ACMR staff train them for you in the
best practices of medical research. ACMR’s own staff members are highly
sought after in the medical research industry, and ACMR’s training programs
are a major factor in that. ACMR would love to share its expertise with your
staff as well.
